THE MAYORS COURT.

Decision Reserved in the Coleman
Lightbody Observation-Disclosures Case.
The most important case on trial yester-
day was the Colleman-Lightbody investiga
ton. Policeman Lightbody had filed charges
against Constable Coleman andPat kearney
for abusing prisoner on the streets. Allen
Wilson, the prisoner in question, was, it is
said, the leader the riots at the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway wharves. He
was arrested Saturday and Justice Rey-
nolds committed him to jail Constable
Coleman and Pat Kearney then took him
to his new home. Officer Lightbody
charged them with abusing the prisoner,
hitting HIM in the face and otherwise NAL
treating him. The prisoner was handcuffed,
with his hands behind his back, and the
officer demonstrated with them
for ill-treating him so. The
officer spoke to Allen, and he begged him to
make the others stop striking him. He said
that be would go to Jail willingly. Finally
a wagon was procured and he was
placed in it and driven to the
Jail. Both Coleman and Kearney swore
they did not abuse the prisoner. They said
he resisted them and that they only used
portant testimony was taken, but the wit
nesses varied SO much in their sworn testi-
mony that the Mayor reserved his decision
1t will be awaited with interest.

but as no one appeared TO prosecute Ballan-

From the Netc York Evening sun.
The other afternoon red and gray haired
Jerseyman from Red Bank arrived at Fort
Hamilton in an ancient, cat-rigged craft.
He toiied up long fight of steps to the
top of the bluff, and was so well winGe |
when he got there that he Immediately sat
straw hat, and mopped his brow with a
dirty, red handkerchief. Having rested, he
sauntered along the bluff until he came to
place where a little path led out on to
some earthworks connected with the fort
on the other side. He crawled under the
railing and walked out ON the works. He
was gazing in delight at the big elephant at
Coney Island, when a boy said Say, mis-
ter, dat soger over there is motionin' ter

The soldier in question was walking his
beat upon the grass-grown ramparts of the
oval, what dyer s'pose he wants o. me2
Eny way, he'll hev to cum over here eff he

Il guess I've got right to stan here eff
wanter, and I'd like ter see that sojer shoot
me for it, said the citizen from Red Bank
as his eyes wandered off to Coney Island
again.
Meanwhile the soldier came within hailing
distance and shouted to the Jerseyman to
come out of there"
The Red Banker shook his fist at him and
yelled back, "You jest shootl"
This so exaSperated Uncle Sans minion
that he came charging down the embark

And he started down the bluff with such
celebrity that when about half way down he
stumbled and rolled to the bottom. He was
able to pick himself up, however. and was

ATLANTA, GA, Aug. Is, 1887.
Mr.. W. r. 1higpen, City:
My DEAR SIR-You have asked my
opinion of the Telfair Academy, Savan-
nah, Ga.
have visited the galleries and art acad
emies in New York, Philadelphia, Wash
ington and Cincinnati, and consider the
rooms Of the Telfair Academy superior to
any of these, particularly the well lighted
exhibition gallery and the collection of
antique statuary. Here they have the nu-
cleus Of good collection of paintings and
an attractive museum.
The director has shown consummate taste
and judgment in its general arrangement,
and has certainly made the most of the old
Telfair mansion. AS Southerner, ! am
anxious to see the class-rooms filled with
earnest students, applying themselves to a
thorough and systematic course of study
Other academies may surpass the Telfair in
size, but not for comfort and perfect ar
